The Waste Electrical and Electronic Equipment Directive (WEEE Directive) aims to minimise the impact of electrical and electronic goods on the environment, by increasing re-use and recycling and reducing the amount of WEEE going to landfill. It seeks to achieve this by making producers responsible for the collection, treatment, and recovery of waste electrical equipment. 

The WEEE Directive became law in the UK on 2nd January 2007 with an implementation date of 1st July 2007.
